oregano (shredded)
Oregano (also known by the botanical name Origanum vulgare or the German name echt Dost) is a plant species of the genus Dost and from the family Lamiaceae. Oregano is an aromatic herb that is characterized by small, green leaves and its delicate, pink or purple flowers. The oregano plant exudes an intense aroma. Oregano is an indispensable spice in many cuisines around the world. Oregano grows best in sunny locations on well-drained soil. Oregano can be grown in the garden as well as in pots on the balcony or windowsill. The leaves of the oregano are harvested during the flowering period and can then be dried.
The origin of the oregano plant and the use of oregano dates back to ancient Greece and Rome. The herb was considered a symbol of happiness and joy in ancient times.
The taste of the Italian classic oregano can be described as peppery with a hint of lemon. Dried leaves are much more aromatic and flavorful than fresh ones and have a much longer shelf life. The shredded form makes it easier to dose the oregano.
Use of Oregano
Oregano is a key spice in Mediterranean cuisine and gives pizza, pasta, tomato sauces and many other dishes their characteristic flavour. Oregano can be sprinkled on top of a pizza after baking, for example. The strong aroma of oregano goes perfectly with roasted vegetables, hearty soups, marinades, vegetable stews or even in dips.
For a Greek oregano tzatziki, mix Greek yogurt with dried oregano, garlic, lemon juice, salt and fresh cucumber cubes or strips. Optionally, you can then drizzle some olive oil over the tzatziki.
Overall, oregano is a versatile spice that gives a particularly pleasant taste to various dishes. From hearty pizzas to refreshing dips, the oregano spice can add flavor creativity to different dishes.
